Best Life Coaching Questions
Life Coaching with Bren Murphy is best described as a process of listening and posing questions. There's no advice or telling you what to do - that is never the case. That is not part of the definition of life coaching. The most important thing I do is share the inner advice that people already have within themselves.You share your story and your challenge, and through attentive listening and my experience and training, I pose questions to help you elicit the right answer from where you are right now.

Life Coaching is about learning and discovery and sharing openly without shame or blame or reservation. I find the best, most powerful Life Coaching Questions are those that prompt thought and inspire action. It sometimes means you will cry, or experience the pain of growth really quickly as you see what needs to be done. And yes, these are the benefits of life coaching.
But also, it means you will become closer to a sense of inner peace and deep calm. Getting in touch with yourself, and cultivating a sense of self mastery is a powerful journey int loving yourself - and from there - you are in the best place to nurture and heal others.
